is there an alternate storyline for when you beat the game or before you even start the game you can choose to become a triad instead of the cop? I grew up watching HK triad movies, can't see myself working as an undercover in the triads, it fucks with the nostalgia

This game replicates the Laughing role. And what sucks is there isn't a full on Cantonese dub. I understand that they had to appeal to the western markets and couldn't hire two sets of voice actors to do both English and Cantonese.
